Thoughts on Dead Internet Theory?

3 2022-09-23 04:21

The irony is that, even if we all weren't bots, there's no way spending any time on here has any tangible difference on your life or others involved.

Recollect for a moment all of the postings you may have online, profile or not.
Do, for a moment, consider the weight of difference if all of your messages were deleted, whether private or public.
Whether in a chatroom or an email.

In all likelihood everything you ever written amounted little change to those received.
Even love letters, which mean mostly little due ephemerality and the dulled passion the pixel-eye adopts.
Zap! Your deleted blocks were replaced by another. Maybe with a bit more feeling.

If there is a Dead Internet Theory, its basis ought to be found in the sleepwalkers that make up the internet, not bots.
For what does it profit a man if he peruse the whole Internet but loses his soul?
